What's so longwinded about "MARIO KART 8"?

It's not necessarily low resolution, it's high ISO with noise. And that's a problem all smartphone cameras still have today. I don't think he could do a sneaky photo with a DSLR camera there.

Multi-language games are probably more common in Europe. Usually games are released in EFIGS (english, french, italian, german, spanish) configuration here, but that doesn't always cover voiceovers.

They aren't gone, Persona 1 and 2 were just recently released on PSP, not to mention the previously unreleased Persona 2 part.

Well, there are many games that just use the US american voice track for all EFIGS regions (and therefore just require a text translation. Which does take time, but not as much as completely recording voices for all languages).

While I agree with you, at least we got Bravely Default months earlier than the US...

Maybe those people are not used to strong female characters. Personally, I found Milla groundbreaking, especially for a game coming from Japan where females are traditionally still expected to be calm and reserved.

Lego already did some female empowerment. The LEGO Horizon Express has a female train driver.

Then what's a shoe called that I put on my head?

Hey what more motivation do you need?

Don't worry, many people like Milla, but since Tales has so many characters (at least half of which are awesome), there's of course a wider spread :)

I actually didn't find that Luke lost his confidence on the level of Emil. I mean, Emil is really one of his class.

Actually, I wouldn't mind a Persona game using the Tales battle system.

Capacitive is not necessarily the best touchscreen technology, especially not if you want to have precise pen input.

You're absolutely right, using the "God of the Gaps" argument is really a terrible way of gaining knowledge, because it basically ends the logical need to research further.

I'd even go as far as saying that skepticism is the tool of an open mind. But not (just) the skepticism that ends with one's cynicism about others' beliefs or hypothesis.

In fact, Galileo didn't just have a "measure of faith", but he was deeply religious. So much that the conflict between his findings and the Bible's teachings actually gave him some inner conflict (just like with Kepler). Their resolution was not to abandon faith, but rather to reconcile it, by realizing that the Bible…

It's definitely not the coolest name...

"Ludger" is actually a regular german name.

Because in real life, cameras and lenses are not perfect.
